    Interesting articles to read
    In JS functions, the 'last' return wins
    An edge case has convinced me it's the 'last' return that always wins.
    Demystifying styled-components
    For so many React devs, styled-components seems kinda magical. It isn't at all clear how it uses traditional CSS features under-the-hood, and that lack of clarity can cause real problems when things go awry. In this post, we'll learn exactly how styled-components works by building our own mini-version.
    Why Iโ€™m super excited about Astro
    Image To Text Conversion With React And Tesseract.js
    Do you have to process data manually because it is served through images or scanned documents? An image-to-text conversion makes it possible to extract text from images to automate the processing of texts on images, videos, and scanned documents. In this article, we look at how to convert an image to text with React and Tesseract.js(OCR), preprocess images, and deal with the limitations of Tesseract.
    Some great videos I watched this week

    Automated Lighthouse Benchmarks
    Lighthouse has increasingly become a popular tool for many web developers to have the best site possible. But I've noticed that many don't realize you can automate Lighthouse benchmarks by adding them to your Continuous Integration workflow, and setting custom restrictions for performance regressions.

    Data Science Cheatsheet 2.0

    A helpful 5-page machine learning cheatsheet to assist with exam reviews, interview prep, and anything in-between. This resource is not meant to be a comprehensive deep dive into any specific model, but rather a quick refresher on a few of the most fundamental machine learning algorithms. The reader should have at least a basic understanding of statistics and linear algebra, though beginners may find this cheatsheet helpful as well.

    Inspired by Maverick's Data Science Cheatsheet (hence the 2.0 in the name), located here.

    Topics covered:

    • Linear and Logistic Regression
    • Decision Trees and Random Forest
    • SVM
    • K-Nearest Neighbors
    • Clustering
    • Boosting
    • Dimension Reduction (PCA, LDA, Factor Analysis)
    • Natural Language Processing
    • Neural Networks
    • Recommender Systems
    • Reinforcement Learning
    • Anomaly Detection
    • Time Series
    • A/B Testing

    This cheatsheet will be occasionally updated with new/improved info, so consider a follow/star to stay up to date.

    Future additions (ideas welcome):

    • Time Series Added!

    by Tanner Villarete | LinkedIn | Website

    Before the days of streaming services, we relied on physical devices to store our limited libraries of music. Now with the streaming age, we no longer rely on physical storage and have endless hours of songs at our disposal. This project is an homage to the good 'ol days. A mix of the old and new. Experience the iPod Classic you used to own that now connects to Spotify and Apple Music โ€” the two most popular music streaming platforms in the world.

    I built this thing to be very extensible โ€“ to the point where it can even run games (like brick!). In the future I might consider adding a few more little apps and easter eggs (theming?).
